We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Now enjoy the podcast on.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Two three starting your morning off right. A new way
of talk, a new way of understand different because we're
in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
This is your Morning show with Michael Gilchorn set minutes
after the hour. Thanks for waking up with your morning show,
and welcome to November.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
The first and to Friday Player. It's Friday, November, Halloween
behind as we press on towards Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
But first an election on Tuesday. And of course, can't
have your morning show without your voice. Use that iHeartRadio
app talk back button. Just like he's stalling and looking,
installing and looking. It was Pat, I believe no, it
was Kelly at KFYI in Phoenix.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Happy Friday morning.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
This is Kelly from Mesa.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I don't like your partner's numbers. But he also doesn't
do sleepovers, So I'm going to guess he's wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Seriously, wonderful weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I like it. Maybe I'll have if Maybe, if I win,
I'll have Kelly fly in and we'll meet here and Andrew,
I'll have a little sleepover, watch some movies together.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
And why don't we do sleepovers anymore? I don't know.
Why does that end?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
When you're a kid, it's fun stay up late. I
can tell you that where Decker's coming from. What heavily
influences him filling this map up is he is hyper focused.
And he may be right, don't get me wrong, but
he's hyper focused on the division during a primary. Now,
remember that seems like a long time ago, when a
(01:50):
lot of people weren't paying attention when Donald Trump was
held up in court being challenged by Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Remember he never had.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
A campaign, he could even talk, he had a gag order,
he never appeared in a single debate, and he won
the primary and that party was well unified even before
the convention. But he's taking a look at the amount
of people that didn't vote for Donald Trump in a
primary and thinks that translates to either staying at home
(02:18):
or lack of votes in the general. I think that
is completely misreading the tea leaves.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
But what I'm.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Guessing is, somewhere along the line we agreed on Nevada
and Arizona, Somewhere along the line he must have given Wisconsin, Michigan,
and Pennsylvania all to Kamala Harris, and even to get
to the number of two eighty six for Harris, I
think at some point North Carolina he must have blue
as well. We'll get all his nuances on Monday. We
ran out of time.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Me.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I have Donald Trump with a clean, sweet Nevada, Arizona, Georgia,
North Carolina. If he takes Pennsylvania, and I got him
taking Pennsylvania, Michigan will fall with it. Wisconsin, I think
is even a far more likelihood than Michigan. So I
went ahead and gave it to him. If I give
her Wisconsin, for example, I still have Donald Trump winning
by over three hundred, but I actually think he tops
(03:06):
twenty sixteen and wins with three hundred and twelve electoral votes.
We'll see who's right, and we'll see who pays up. Gosh,
that'll have not only an impact on where I'm traveling,
but where this guy's traveling suffer not i'd former president
on to.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
The to the gem.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
We say good morning, mister President.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And we say good morning mister pizza boy.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You know, that is the last Friday with forty five
until we start Fridays.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
With forty seven where really we get born in.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
On January twenty and so it's still be forty five
until then. But I have to say we're doing a
tremendous job.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I will say that do you want now?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
This is completely up to you because by the time
we visit again, it should be a reality. Although there's
gonna be a lot of I'm sure circus in court drama.
But do do you want this to be Friday with
forty seven elect come next week?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Well, let's see, we could see, we could talk about it.
We could talk about it. As long as it makes
me sound good. That's all I want to know, as
long as it.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Makes me sound because if they're making.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Me sound good, but you don't, do you do a
tremendous job. That's why your ratings on Fridays are through
the roof. You know, we hear about it. The ratings
are all over the place. They great they're up like
a rocket ship.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
They're up like Chris Christie's weight.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
By the way, whatever weight Lizzo, your ratings are up.
Whatever weight Lizzo lost. He found that much. I know.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
All right, let's talk about what a crazy way. You know,
we we have another correspondent, David Sanatti was on. He said,
okay with us A, that was a huge move with McDonald's.
And then that was a huge move with Joe Rogan, which,
by the way, it's up to I think over forty
two million, although I would imagine with clips, twitts, ex
tweets and retweets it's far higher than that. And then
(04:50):
of course the vice president yesterday with Joe Rogan and
he's like, well, now what do you do to top that? Well,
I guess we got old Jodah thing for that. He
hands you on a silver platter, garbage and then you
show up in a garbage truck.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
What a moment.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Well, it's unbelievable. You know, he calls people garbage. It's bad.
You had so many people who were not happy about it.
You know, you shouldn't be happy about it. But he's
thought this way about everybody for a long time. You know,
they called us deplorables, They called us Nazis and terrorists
and all sorts of terrible things. And then they say garbage.
(05:24):
Garbage is not a nice word. I would never say
something like that about the American people. You know, we
love the American people, even the ones who don't like me,
We love them. These are great people. And he called
them garbage terrible. You know that hefty bag. You have
the hefty bag. And we drove that garbage truck like
nobody's ever seen before, by the way we throw it.
And we threw the garbage out. We took the trash out,
(05:46):
and we could take the trash out November fifth. You know,
Cryptid Joe is trash. We'll call him trash. The supporters
we're not going to say bad things. We don't want
to say bad things. But he said very bad things.
And now you have Mark Cuban who said horrible things
about women. It's a cleanup on Aisle five. You know,
it's a cleanup, big, beautiful, and he keeps trying to
(06:09):
clean it up. He's like throwing water on a grease fire.
Keep talking, Mark, It's really working out great for you
as is. You see the new glasses he's wearing between
him Roso' Donald rachel Man Cow and a couple of
other people. They all look the same. They all look
the same. It's quite frankly incredible. We can't tell any
of them.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Apart well as from Mark Cuban. He's on the view
and says, Donald Trump you never see him around strong
intelligent women.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Ever. It's just that simple Donald Trump. I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
And then this is supposedly forty five his apology. When
I said this during the interview, I didn't get it
out exactly the way I thought. Apparently they'll re do
the transcripts like they did with Joe Biden, against this
scenographer's wishes. So I apologized to anyone who felt is
this really an apology? So I apologize anyone who felt
slighted or upset by my response. As I said, it
(07:02):
wasn't about Trump voters, supporters, or employees, current orformer. Well,
then who the heck was it about?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I use this?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh, it's like Ringing Ringling Brothers and Barnman Billy circus.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I mean, they are.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You've got to be thrilled.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
They couldn't.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
They couldn't be not finding their voice any better, and
they couldn't be having bigger blunders.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Were they're having a lot of problems. And you look
at Mark Cuban and just because he's transitioning to a
woman does not mean he gets to talk that way
about women. Okay, that's not a nice thing to do.
When you have Cuba, you have mad Cow. You know
Rachel Medcal she's a crazy person. Keith Olberman he's another
crazy person. And Rosie o'donald. These four people, they all
(07:46):
look to say, I can't believe it. You look at them.
I have never seen all four of these people in
the same room together, and quite frankly, it's insane. But
they're handing us it's called the silver platter. We use
a golden pladder.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
We think off the silver plannel.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
We put it on the golden plane.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
And they're handing us horrible things on golden.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Planter's garbage and stupid women. They're saying, stupid, you know,
not smart, not intelligent, not strong. We're very strong. We're
the strongest. Our women are the strongest. You look at
Riley Gains, you look at Millennia, you look at Toasti gabberge,
you're a strong person. Lieutenant out loud fantastic people, right,
These are fantastic people.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
And they say they're not strong, we're not smart.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Mark Cuban is not strong and not smart. And by
the way, he's a woman too.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Let's just put it out there.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Fridays for forty five I have said this a million times.
Instead of you know, speaking against mail in voting and
early voting, not only did you embrace it, but you
strategized it, you encouraged it, and you have executed it
and time will tell you may have even won it.
There seems to be a change. I mean, we don't
(08:56):
see the dominance of the young people in camps, and
we don't see the Hispanic block, the black voters, the
union voters like they've had in the past. They don't
have a lot going for them. And then where they
really missed the boat. They're still doing commercials, attack ads, ABC, NBCCBA,
you're on with Joe Rogan reaching forty seven million. Who
(09:18):
knows what JD's visits going to end up being. It
just seems like in every phase of the game, well,
I mean, we were all talking about the garbage truck
and not her big speech from Washington, d C. It
is just amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
It has been.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You have to be pleased heading into the final weekend
with the way you've executed this campaign from the ground
to the top.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Well, nobody executes like I execute. I have to say that.
You know, there's a lot of people they try to execute.
They don't do it as well as I do. And
I do a lot of things better than most people.
You know, you look at it. My golf game is incredible,
my fitness. You know that. I got a quote from
the Greek god.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
His name is Zeus. She may have heard of her.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
We said, I get a little fit stick with her,
and I do very well with Poseidon too, and Neptune.
We love Neptune. Apollo is a great guy. But you
look at this e compan He said, sir, how do
you have such a beautiful body. I said, it's all
in the big mac and the gout swing. You have
to have a beautiful swing. You look at the swing
(10:17):
as he said, sir, please teach me your ways. So
I taught him. And Zeus is in phenomenal shape. You
look at him. He looks great. You know you didn't
think I was behind it, but I'm behind it. Nobody
executes like I execute.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
What was the bigger scare of Butler.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Who was the bigger scared Butler or the Ecoli at
McDonald's for you, Well, I have to say this.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
We fought the Ecola off like nobody's ever seen.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
You know, we have the greatest the Supreme Court of
concent Trump.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Has immunity, right, we have the greatest immune system. And
they tried to get us.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
You know, we think that was assassination at the.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Number three when you look at it.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
They tried to get us.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
With key COLI, We're never gonna let it happen. And
we took it out.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
We fought it off.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
It's gone.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
We fought it off like I don't.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Think if you were president.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I said, never would have happened.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
And I said to my white blood cells.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
I said, trendous job.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
And they said, thank you, sir. They are standing straw.
They're very good. They're great at.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
What they do.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Right, we have the greatest imman system of the world.
Is ever sae.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I know we're running out of time, but I know
it's a kind of a political tradition that we don't
really do much anymore, which is kissing babies. But for
for old Joe, after calling all of your supporters garbage.
He then was putting a baby's foot in his mouth
two three times. What did you make of that? And
have you ever thought about putting baby's feet in your mouth?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Well, we would never do that, I can tell you
that first and foremost. Who would never do that? And
you know Crooked Joe, whether it's Crooked Joe or Kamala,
they have an issue with. Well, we'll look at crooked Joe.
He's putting baby's feet in the mouth. We don't have
to go in the other direction, but you look at
what's happening. He's a crazy person, you know. And she
covered it up. He's not well. He is not well.
(11:58):
If you put a foot in your mouth, you're not well,
especially with somebody else's foot. And he was nibbling the
babies like the cannibals nibbled on umbul Brosie. I can't
believe it, but very strange, What a strange guy. And
they said cheap fake, They said he was perfect, and
then all of a sudden we had the debate.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Now he's not perfect and he's eating baby's feet.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I can't believe it. What a weird, strange person. And
you can't make it up. But we'll have to fire
these people very soon. We're going to do that.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
How do you I just did my final electoral college map. Boy,
what a difference. John Decker, our White House correspondent, his
Kamala winning with two eighty six. I actually have you
winning with three hundred and twelve electoral votes. I have
you taking Nevada and Arizona West. I have you hanging
on to Georgia and North Carolina, and I have you
winning Pennsylvania. And if you're winning Pennsylvania, you're probably gonna
take Michigan Wisconsin along with it. So I have you
(12:48):
at three twelve. Where do you have yourself heading into
this final weekend? And how I'm glad? Are you to
have this almost over? And what's your final word to
all the voters?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
What a great question. You know that we need everybody,
no matter where the hell you want to get out
and vote. He says, where are you three twelve? I'm
insulted by three twelve, five hundred and thirty eight electoral.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Votes we have, We've got all of them.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
We're gonna win. It's gonna be a clean sweep, the
cleaner sweep the world has ever seen. You know that
I've made it, and five hundred and thirty eight, we're
gonna do better. All fifty states are as. Barack Obama
would say, oh, fifty two states. Okay, we have a
tremendous amount.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
And by the way, we're gonna win them all.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
And by the way we do, we'll take three twelve
of the.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
And by the way, you got along very well with
mister Clean.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Didn't you.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I got along well with mister Clean. And I also
did you see what happened yesterday? We get along very
well with a good friend Bobby. We love him, Bobby
Kennedy doing a tremendous jub but we love mister Clean.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
He's got a beautiful hand, by the way, shining. There
you have it.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Friday with forty five held.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
The giv's the one we all say heil to. He
has the power because he takes a shower. Mister President, thank.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
You, Get out and vote, don't forget to.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Vote, and let's make America great again.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Twenty minutes after the hour, not one, not two, not three,
but your top five stories of.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
The day are next. This is your Morning Show with
Michael del Trono. Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You can listen to your Morning show live on the
air or streaming live on your iHeart app Monday through
Friday from three to six Pacific, five to eighth Central,
and six to nine Eastern on great radio stations like
Top six fifty KSTE and Sacramento one oh four nine.
The Patriot in Saint Louis had Impact Radio one oh
five nine and twelve fifty w HDZ in Tampa, Florida.
(14:39):
Sure hope you can join us live and make us
a part of your morning routine. In the meantime, enjoy
the podcast. Backed out of the White House, they're all
talking about Donald Trump climbing into a Make America Great
garbage truck. Then the late surgency that I'm sure the
number one costume were Republicans. We had several come to
our door wearing America Great hats, wearing nothing but a
(15:01):
hefty bag. Then just to make sure you don't, you know,
lose any momentum you have, Mark Cuban insult all conservative women.
And now maybe the best for last, the Jobs Report,
the final jobs report before an election with Kamala Harris
(15:24):
from an incumbent sitting administration. They were expecting over one
hundred thousand new jobs. It just came out at twelve thousand,
just nine times less from what they were expecting. And
then you sit hover over the electoral college map and
you're seeing these senate races, you know in Ohio go
(15:44):
from five down to one heading into election day. Pennsylvania,
oh my gosh, from a seven and just under eight,
it's only leading by two. Michigan, where the lead was
six and a half is down to three. The batter
(16:05):
with the lead was ten point seven is down to four.
How are you supposed to translate all that into a
close electoral college map? It becomes very difficult going out
with a whimper, not a bang, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
How do I put all that into perspective for you?
Just like that? All right?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
So the new jobs report twelve thousand new jobs, not
what they were expecting. Thirty nine minutes after the hour,
Aaron Rayal is joining us. An old rule in politics
is follow the money. This election, we're seeing an unprecedented
spending spree by billionaires.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Aaron Rayal with that reality. Good morning, Aaron, Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Yes, so we do know that there's always been money
in politics, and billionaires have always spent to have their
political candidate pick up the phone when they call. But
this year it's like no other. You have one hundred
and fifty billionaire families. They've dropped almost two billion in
support of not just presidential candidates, but also the congressional candidates.
This cycle, it's seven hundred million more than last cycle.
So this continues to grow. You have Gates, you have Soros,
(17:01):
you have Bloomberg, all giving to Harris, but none of
them can outspend Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
He is giving to.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Obviously Trump A So far, he's dropped about one hundred
and eighteen million for the super pac that has pretty
much taken Trump's ground game to the Swing States, his
million dollars a day giveaway to register a voter in
a swing state. It's no segret that Trump has a
massive interest in the federal government through both like contracts
and regulatory probes of his companies. And he's also eyeing
(17:29):
a role in that proposed efficiency Commission that he would run.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
So this is nothing new.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I think what is new is the amounts and the
influence that these these billionaires now yield.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
You can trace the amount influence. Well, that's a whole
other conversation. I always say, behind every headline is a
story behind every story. There's so much to talk about,
So how much you know how this money is used
and how effectively it's used matters. So it used to
be not so much the commercials, but the ground game,
and the ground game that not only influenced whatever they
(18:02):
perceived is the most important election, but a lot of
Senate races and house races under them. The mail in
voting they were met on the playing field. Early in
person voting, they were met on the playing field. So
that's an advantage that they've lost. Now who's effectively doing
the ground game between who's voted early and who's going
to still vote on election day, Well, time will tell.
We don't have that answer yet. And then it's kind
(18:24):
of like does it have the influence it used to
in terms of advertising, which I don't think it does.
And I think probably one of the great lessons from
this one is that instead of it being mail in
voting like it was in twenty twenty after weaponizing COVID,
this one will be about early in person voting. And
then I also think it's going to be about the
amount of money that was spent on television where people
aren't watching anymore versus money. They didn't even have to
(18:47):
be spent to go on Joe Rogan, Megan Kelly or
Tucker Carlson or other places where the millions of people were.
And there's no getting around what you've already stated. The
great wildcard is Elon Musk because they don't have Twitter
to you know, oppose any opposing thought. They don't have
the influence and credibility with the mainstream media, so they
(19:07):
can't control narratives. They can't control opposing thought. And at
least for Trump in advance, they did a much better
job addressing America that's left cable television, left mainstream media,
and gone to social media. If it goes Downald Trump's way,
I think that's how we'll do the post mortem. And
(19:27):
and as that goes, the relevance of all these billions goes.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Yeah, listen, I think you have a huge point. You
want to know that where the ears are they're listening
to ads for Athletic Greens on Rogan's podcast or any
of the other ones, Like it's I think the ad dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
By the way, you did that story on what day
Aaron was that Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
We did that story?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
What it is yeah, whatever, I've had that kind of
week two but whatever, it was Tuesday or Wednesday. And
now I'm hearing those ads everywhere back they're playing during
my show.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
So oh yeah, it's really fun.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
So I don't care too much for money because money
can't buy an election anymore, not until you realize the
paradigm and the audience has shifted, and I don't know
that they have.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
It can't buy you an election, but it can buy
you can buy you a seat at the table, which
I think is interesting, and that that is, you know,
money is power, There's no question about it. And also
is freedom and many circumstances freedom to do.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It gives you options.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
But again, it is in everything, and it can't get
you everything. And we'll we'll find out how this plays out. Listen,
if you want influence in a campaign and you want
you on the ear of the leader, give him or
her some money. You're going to get it. But will most.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Of those players, Aaron, they kind of give to both
sides and had their bets. After all, Donald Trump was
great at that for years. So yeah, but they do
have an advantage. I mean, I think it's billions fighting millions.
But if the billions is spent where it can't be won.
It's just wasted money.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
It's so true.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
And listen, if you look at like a means tested
for the generations, where you have the individual donations that
fall under the scrutiny of various I'm blanking on the
term right now. I'm sorry, election, election interference in all
those things.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
So you can look at it.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
For the individual who writes a thousand dollars check relative
to their income, it's it's profound compared to Elon Musk's
two hundred million in ads and silly giveaways. That means
nothing to him. Nothing, It like moves in, you know,
on fundamentally no way in his life. So like it
actually speaks so much more when you have the individual
donations given how profound that is in terms of like
(21:35):
if you means tested for what that? What that, how
that affects their life, and how much how they feel for.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
An induvidre are elections that are more susceptible than others.
In this case, I don't think it's where the billions
of dollars were. It was where the minds of the
American people were, and how short they were at paying
their bills. Every month that one side seemed to get
the other side seemed to try to gaslight and it
probably isn't going to work. But time will tell. Long week,
go rest, make some memories. We'll talk again on Monday.
(22:04):
Like all right, I could do top five stories to day,
but I really want to get this in. You know,
we're talking about where to be, you know, I mean,
I don't know what Kamala thinks she achieved by driving
me crazy with ads all through the world series. That's
really not you know where people are When you can
reach forty two million with Joe Rogan, it really kind
(22:25):
of takes five months of all that you scripted and
plotted and through bias, executed on ABCNBCCBS, which is what
eighty five percent negative on Donald Trump, seventy eight percent
positive on Kamala Harris. That's the kind of stuff that
used to work, but it doesn't anymore because the mainstream
(22:45):
media has no audience and it has no credibility, and
everybody has moved. They're not watching Fox to figure out
how to vote. They're listening to and watching podcasts. A
former Fox hosts that aren't even on television anymore, like
Megan Kelly, I say, Megan Kelly would I would think
(23:05):
things are going a little bit better than her for
her right now, than Tucker Carlson, although Tucker is still
very influential, but those two, they're not even on Fox anymore,
and they're reaching far more people, and nobody reaches more
than Joe Rogan. I wanted to play this clip because
we were all kind of anticipating as good as Donald
Trump did with Joe Rogan, and what a big mistake
it is for Conald Harris not to do it. We
anticipated Jade Vance to be even better. I think a
(23:27):
lot of people will arrive at the conclusion he was better.
But I love this story and compare it to Kamala
going everywhere telling you how she was making pancakes and
bacon and they said, ant can I have more bacon?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And then I said, Joe, are you sure? Compare that
to this story?
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Well, actually, what happened is I get a text message
from a staff member on his team that says, you
just missed a very important phone call. And I don't know,
you know, because there's so much inbound traffic that I
think it just went straight to voicemail. So I call
it back and I'm like, hey, sir, what's going on?
JD you just missed a very important phone call. I'm
gonna have to pick somebody else.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Just a lot of great moments. I would play you
more moments, but I sit with my palm sweating every
time I play these moments because I can tell you
that there are a lot of words that we would
have to beep and this hasn't been pre beeped, so
I'm afraid to let roll. I think there was an
S word coming up when he tells a story about
his son, Donald Trump ort his son of the background
and put.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Him on the phone.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
It was just but I mean, it's just it's far
more I guess what I'm getting at first and foremost quantity.
Forty two million people have watched this, and it's Joe Rogan,
where relevant people are now watching a long, uninterrupted conversation
versus a pre produced network hit piece. It's just it's
(24:49):
it's not apples and oranges. And when we all do
the post and wordem after this election, and we're all
pointing fingers thinking it was this, or it was that
it could be as obvious this right in front of
your face. One was spending their millions with a narrative
and an illusion of a candidate the others in real time,
(25:13):
we're at McDonald's, we're climbing into garbage trucks, or where
the tens of millions of people are watching. And usually
it's the Democrats that are ahead of the Republicans. This time,
the Republicans seem to learn every lesson from twenty twenty,
and instead of griping about mail in voting, they competed.
(25:34):
Instead of griping about early in person voting, they competed.
Instead of griping about indoctrination and common education and higher education,
they competed. Instead of conceding voting blocks like blacks and Hispanics,
they competed. People always want to, you know, do an
electoral college map and say, well, this is happen in
(25:57):
twenty sixteen, This happened in twenty twenty, This happened in
twenty Nothing's happening like it's happening right now.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Nothing about twenty sixteen is a reality today, COVID masks,
nothing about twenty twenty is relevant today.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
This is Andy Hickson, formerly of Nashville, now living in Detroit, Michigan,
thanks to iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
My morning show is your morning show.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Our senior national correspondent, Royal Diana is joining us only
days away from the election, and even the pollsters think
that the numbers that we're seeing could be wrong. I
don't know whether to start with those numbers that could
be wrong, or probably the job's number that seems way
off what they were hoping for. Let's start with jobs.
It just came out twelve thousand, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (26:48):
Twelve thousand lower than, of course you'd like the economy
to post. But two of the big reasons for this
the Boeing strike, which is ongoing, and of course that's
one of the large America's largest exporters, and that really
does filter down through the other segments of the economy
because of the ongoing strike there, and the hurricanes that
impacted Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
The hurricanes alone have put.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
A half million people out of work last month, but
the unemployment rate is holding the same. That's in large
part because they don't change the rate based on oh look,
work stoppages and weather related job cuts, so the number
is going to stay at four point one.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
So I think between now and Tuesday, I think this
is all going to fall by the wayside pretty quickly. Yeah,
and what do we do?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
What do you think this number of influences in terms
of the interest rates? They had promised that they would
be coming down, but you'll put this number along with
I guess other things.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
And this does perhaps speed and brings back the idea
of a rate cut happening in November.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Some had speculated that they would.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
Pass after having that half point cut, which would be
a bit more aggressive the last time. So now this
sort of puts that quarter point back on the table.
But now it's going to be a question of how
much the Fed wants to weigh. Well, this is hurricane related,
not really economy related.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Which is a whole other conversation that I didn't even
want to get into because I think the boeing, I
think we can get our arms around. It's about forty
four thousand jobs and no indication that it's going to
be permanent. But that one can explain some of it.
Then you've got to get to the other with the hurricane,
which isn't as easy to get your arms around. I
think it leans towards a quarter point for sure.
Speaker 7 (28:29):
Yeah, and then the hurricanes ultimately lead to more hiring,
you know, because then you need to the carpenters to
come back and the plumbers to come back, so it
actually can be an economic driver as the recovery moves.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
We want to save our final two minutes with roy
O'Neil for this. Okay, So the polls going into this
final weekend, have they accounted for the under sampling of
Donald Trump voters? Are they right? Are they wrong? Should
we just throw out whatever the number is and kind
of look at how it's been trending and can you
even trust the trend talk about where they're concer turns
are other than everywhere?
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (29:02):
Well, and also just don't look at the top line, right,
I mean that's the other problem of social media, especially
on sites like x that you see the top line
Trump up one in Pennsylvania and then you move along.
But you know that poll maybe four and a half
five point margin of error, or you don't know who
was sampled, and that kind of a thing.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
So the devil's in the detail.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
So a lot of this is to say, you know,
don't just like a pole because it has numbers. You
want what you want to see, you know, really deep
into you do a dive into some of those figures.
And there's also a thing called the shy voter theory.
As you mentioned, we've seen this now for the last
couple cycles. Trump supporters are not always truthful about their
(29:41):
voting plans and they don't necessarily want to say what's
going on, and that's been a factor. But look, twenty
twenty's presidential polling was the most inaccurate in forty years. Yes,
even twenty sixteen with Hillary and Trump. That was more
accurate than what happened the last time. By the way,
if you delve deep, more accurate than you think.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
You know.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
We talk about how difficult it is to see breaking trends,
but Hillary it was breaking towards Trump. In fact, when
you do this year to date, I think people are
noticing it for the first time, how she was leading
by seven and it was five, and then every day
that passes it gets lower and lower and lower because
he was closing. Now, those trends, trends seem to be
going in Donald Trump's way, same as Republican senators. And
you bring up the shy vote, what about the live vote.
(30:22):
That's another thing we don't know about because we're seeing
these gallop surveys that more and more people are lying
about who they voted to. In fact, in Kamala Harris's case,
she even has a commercial promoting you to lie to
your husband.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Who you didn't vote for him. So by Julia Roberts.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Actually yeah, yeah, so you know time will tell, right,
We're all in this together.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
This is your Morning Show with Michael ndheld Jo

in this together.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
This is your Morning show with Michael Gilchorn set minutes
after the hour. Thanks for waking up with your morning show,
and welcome to November.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
The first and to Friday Player. It's Friday, November, Halloween
behind as we press on towards Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
But first an election on Tuesday. And of course, can't
have your morning show without your voice. Use that iHeartRadio
app talk back button. Just like he's stalling and looking,
installing and looking. It was Pat, I believe no, it
was Kelly at KFYI in Phoenix.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Happy Friday morning.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
This is Kelly from Mesa.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I don't like your partner's numbers. But he also doesn't
do sleepovers, So I'm going to guess he's wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Seriously, wonderful weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I like it. Maybe I'll have if Maybe, if I win,
I'll have Kelly fly in and we'll meet here and Andrew,
I'll have a little sleepover, watch some movies together.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
And why don't we do sleepovers anymore? I don't know.
Why does that end?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
When you're a kid, it's fun stay up late. I
can tell you that where Decker's coming from. What heavily
influences him filling this map up is he is hyper focused.
And he may be right, don't get me wrong, but
he's hyper focused on the division during a primary. Now,
remember that seems like a long time ago, when a
(01:50):
lot of people weren't paying attention when Donald Trump was
held up in court being challenged by Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Remember he never had.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
A campaign, he could even talk, he had a gag order,
he never appeared in a single debate, and he won
the primary and that party was well unified even before
the convention. But he's taking a look at the amount
of people that didn't vote for Donald Trump in a
primary and thinks that translates to either staying at home
(02:18):
or lack of votes in the general. I think that
is completely misreading the tea leaves.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
But what I'm.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Guessing is, somewhere along the line we agreed on Nevada
and Arizona, Somewhere along the line he must have given Wisconsin, Michigan,
and Pennsylvania all to Kamala Harris, and even to get
to the number of two eighty six for Harris, I
think at some point North Carolina he must have blue
as well. We'll get all his nuances on Monday. We
ran out of time.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Me.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I have Donald Trump with a clean, sweet Nevada, Arizona, Georgia,
North Carolina. If he takes Pennsylvania, and I got him
taking Pennsylvania, Michigan will fall with it. Wisconsin, I think
is even a far more likelihood than Michigan. So I
went ahead and gave it to him. If I give
her Wisconsin, for example, I still have Donald Trump winning
by over three hundred, but I actually think he tops
(03:06):
twenty sixteen and wins with three hundred and twelve electoral votes.
We'll see who's right, and we'll see who pays up. Gosh,
that'll have not only an impact on where I'm traveling,
but where this guy's traveling suffer not i'd former president
on to.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
The to the gem.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
We say good morning, mister President.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And we say good morning mister pizza boy.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You know, that is the last Friday with forty five
until we start Fridays.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
With forty seven where really we get born in.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
On January twenty and so it's still be forty five
until then. But I have to say we're doing a
tremendous job.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I will say that do you want now?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
This is completely up to you because by the time
we visit again, it should be a reality. Although there's
gonna be a lot of I'm sure circus in court drama.
But do do you want this to be Friday with
forty seven elect come next week?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Well, let's see, we could see, we could talk about it.
We could talk about it. As long as it makes
me sound good. That's all I want to know, as
long as it.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Makes me sound because if they're making.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Me sound good, but you don't, do you do a
tremendous job. That's why your ratings on Fridays are through
the roof. You know, we hear about it. The ratings
are all over the place. They great they're up like
a rocket ship.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
They're up like Chris Christie's weight.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
By the way, whatever weight Lizzo, your ratings are up.
Whatever weight Lizzo lost. He found that much. I know.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
All right, let's talk about what a crazy way. You know,
we we have another correspondent, David Sanatti was on. He said,
okay with us A, that was a huge move with McDonald's.
And then that was a huge move with Joe Rogan, which,
by the way, it's up to I think over forty
two million, although I would imagine with clips, twitts, ex
tweets and retweets it's far higher than that. And then
(04:50):
of course the vice president yesterday with Joe Rogan and
he's like, well, now what do you do to top that? Well,
I guess we got old Jodah thing for that. He
hands you on a silver platter, garbage and then you
show up in a garbage truck.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
What a moment.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Well, it's unbelievable. You know, he calls people garbage. It's bad.
You had so many people who were not happy about it.
You know, you shouldn't be happy about it. But he's
thought this way about everybody for a long time. You know,
they called us deplorables, They called us Nazis and terrorists
and all sorts of terrible things. And then they say garbage.
(05:24):
Garbage is not a nice word. I would never say
something like that about the American people. You know, we
love the American people, even the ones who don't like me,
We love them. These are great people. And he called
them garbage terrible. You know that hefty bag. You have
the hefty bag. And we drove that garbage truck like
nobody's ever seen before, by the way we throw it.
And we threw the garbage out. We took the trash out,
(05:46):
and we could take the trash out November fifth. You know,
Cryptid Joe is trash. We'll call him trash. The supporters
we're not going to say bad things. We don't want
to say bad things. But he said very bad things.
And now you have Mark Cuban who said horrible things
about women. It's a cleanup on Aisle five. You know,
it's a cleanup, big, beautiful, and he keeps trying to
(06:09):
clean it up. He's like throwing water on a grease fire.
Keep talking, Mark, It's really working out great for you
as is. You see the new glasses he's wearing between
him Roso' Donald rachel Man Cow and a couple of
other people. They all look the same. They all look
the same. It's quite frankly incredible. We can't tell any
of them.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Apart well as from Mark Cuban. He's on the view
and says, Donald Trump you never see him around strong
intelligent women.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Ever. It's just that simple Donald Trump. I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
And then this is supposedly forty five his apology. When
I said this during the interview, I didn't get it
out exactly the way I thought. Apparently they'll re do
the transcripts like they did with Joe Biden, against this
scenographer's wishes. So I apologized to anyone who felt is
this really an apology? So I apologize anyone who felt
slighted or upset by my response. As I said, it
(07:02):
wasn't about Trump voters, supporters, or employees, current orformer. Well,
then who the heck was it about?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I use this?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh, it's like Ringing Ringling Brothers and Barnman Billy circus.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I mean, they are.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You've got to be thrilled.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
They couldn't.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
They couldn't be not finding their voice any better, and
they couldn't be having bigger blunders.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Were they're having a lot of problems. And you look
at Mark Cuban and just because he's transitioning to a
woman does not mean he gets to talk that way
about women. Okay, that's not a nice thing to do.
When you have Cuba, you have mad Cow. You know
Rachel Medcal she's a crazy person. Keith Olberman he's another
crazy person. And Rosie o'donald. These four people, they all
(07:46):
look to say, I can't believe it. You look at them.
I have never seen all four of these people in
the same room together, and quite frankly, it's insane. But
they're handing us it's called the silver platter. We use
a golden pladder.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
We think off the silver plannel.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
We put it on the golden plane.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
And they're handing us horrible things on golden.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Planter's garbage and stupid women. They're saying, stupid, you know,
not smart, not intelligent, not strong. We're very strong. We're
the strongest. Our women are the strongest. You look at
Riley Gains, you look at Millennia, you look at Toasti gabberge,
you're a strong person. Lieutenant out loud fantastic people, right,
These are fantastic people.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
And they say they're not strong, we're not smart.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Mark Cuban is not strong and not smart. And by
the way, he's a woman too.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Let's just put it out there.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Fridays for forty five I have said this a million times.
Instead of you know, speaking against mail in voting and
early voting, not only did you embrace it, but you
strategized it, you encouraged it, and you have executed it
and time will tell you may have even won it.
There seems to be a change. I mean, we don't
(08:56):
see the dominance of the young people in camps, and
we don't see the Hispanic block, the black voters, the
union voters like they've had in the past. They don't
have a lot going for them. And then where they
really missed the boat. They're still doing commercials, attack ads, ABC, NBCCBA,
you're on with Joe Rogan reaching forty seven million. Who
(09:18):
knows what JD's visits going to end up being. It
just seems like in every phase of the game, well,
I mean, we were all talking about the garbage truck
and not her big speech from Washington, d C. It
is just amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
It has been.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You have to be pleased heading into the final weekend
with the way you've executed this campaign from the ground
to the top.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Well, nobody executes like I execute. I have to say that.
You know, there's a lot of people they try to execute.
They don't do it as well as I do. And
I do a lot of things better than most people.
You know, you look at it. My golf game is incredible,
my fitness. You know that. I got a quote from
the Greek god.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
His name is Zeus. She may have heard of her.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
We said, I get a little fit stick with her,
and I do very well with Poseidon too, and Neptune.
We love Neptune. Apollo is a great guy. But you
look at this e compan He said, sir, how do
you have such a beautiful body. I said, it's all
in the big mac and the gout swing. You have
to have a beautiful swing. You look at the swing
(10:17):
as he said, sir, please teach me your ways. So
I taught him. And Zeus is in phenomenal shape. You
look at him. He looks great. You know you didn't
think I was behind it, but I'm behind it. Nobody
executes like I execute.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
What was the bigger scare of Butler.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Who was the bigger scared Butler or the Ecoli at
McDonald's for you, Well, I have to say this.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
We fought the Ecola off like nobody's ever seen.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
You know, we have the greatest the Supreme Court of
concent Trump.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Has immunity, right, we have the greatest immune system. And
they tried to get us.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
You know, we think that was assassination at the.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Number three when you look at it.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
They tried to get us.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
With key COLI, We're never gonna let it happen. And
we took it out.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
We fought it off.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
It's gone.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
We fought it off like I don't.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Think if you were president.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I said, never would have happened.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
And I said to my white blood cells.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
I said, trendous job.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
And they said, thank you, sir. They are standing straw.
They're very good. They're great at.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
What they do.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Right, we have the greatest imman system of the world.
Is ever sae.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I know we're running out of time, but I know
it's a kind of a political tradition that we don't
really do much anymore, which is kissing babies. But for
for old Joe, after calling all of your supporters garbage.
He then was putting a baby's foot in his mouth
two three times. What did you make of that? And
have you ever thought about putting baby's feet in your mouth?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Well, we would never do that, I can tell you
that first and foremost. Who would never do that? And
you know Crooked Joe, whether it's Crooked Joe or Kamala,
they have an issue with. Well, we'll look at crooked Joe.
He's putting baby's feet in the mouth. We don't have
to go in the other direction, but you look at
what's happening. He's a crazy person, you know. And she
covered it up. He's not well. He is not well.
(11:58):
If you put a foot in your mouth, you're not well,
especially with somebody else's foot. And he was nibbling the
babies like the cannibals nibbled on umbul Brosie. I can't
believe it, but very strange, What a strange guy. And
they said cheap fake, They said he was perfect, and
then all of a sudden we had the debate.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Now he's not perfect and he's eating baby's feet.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I can't believe it. What a weird, strange person. And
you can't make it up. But we'll have to fire
these people very soon. We're going to do that.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
How do you I just did my final electoral college map. Boy,
what a difference. John Decker, our White House correspondent, his
Kamala winning with two eighty six. I actually have you
winning with three hundred and twelve electoral votes. I have
you taking Nevada and Arizona West. I have you hanging
on to Georgia and North Carolina, and I have you
winning Pennsylvania. And if you're winning Pennsylvania, you're probably gonna
take Michigan Wisconsin along with it. So I have you
(12:48):
at three twelve. Where do you have yourself heading into
this final weekend? And how I'm glad? Are you to
have this almost over? And what's your final word to
all the voters?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
What a great question. You know that we need everybody,
no matter where the hell you want to get out
and vote. He says, where are you three twelve? I'm
insulted by three twelve, five hundred and thirty eight electoral.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Votes we have, We've got all of them.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
We're gonna win. It's gonna be a clean sweep, the
cleaner sweep the world has ever seen. You know that
I've made it, and five hundred and thirty eight, we're
gonna do better. All fifty states are as. Barack Obama
would say, oh, fifty two states. Okay, we have a
tremendous amount.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
And by the way, we're gonna win them all.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
And by the way we do, we'll take three twelve
of the.
Speaker 2 (13:29):

Speaker 3 (13:53):
You, Get out and vote, don't forget to.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Vote, and let's make America great again.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Twenty minutes after the hour, not one, not two, not three,
but your top five stories of.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
The day are next. This is your Morning Show with
Michael del Trono. Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You can listen to your Morning show live on the
air or streaming live on your iHeart app Monday through
Friday from three to six Pacific, five to eighth Central,
and six to nine Eastern on great radio stations like
Top six fifty KSTE and Sacramento one oh four nine.
The Patriot in Saint Louis had Impact Radio one oh
five nine and twelve fifty w HDZ in Tampa, Florida.
(14:39):
Sure hope you can join us live and make us
a part of your morning routine. In the meantime, enjoy
the podcast. Backed out of the White House, they're all
talking about Donald Trump climbing into a Make America Great
garbage truck. Then the late surgency that I'm sure the
number one costume were Republicans. We had several come to
our door wearing America Great hats, wearing nothing but a
(15:01):
hefty bag. Then just to make sure you don't, you know,
lose any momentum you have, Mark Cuban insult all conservative women.
And now maybe the best for last, the Jobs Report,
the final jobs report before an election with Kamala Harris
(15:24):
from an incumbent sitting administration. They were expecting over one
hundred thousand new jobs. It just came out at twelve thousand,
just nine times less from what they were expecting. And
then you sit hover over the electoral college map and
you're seeing these senate races, you know in Ohio go
(15:44):
from five down to one heading into election day. Pennsylvania,
oh my gosh, from a seven and just under eight,
it's only leading by two. Michigan, where the lead was
six and a half is down to three. The batter
(16:05):
with the lead was ten point seven is down to four.
How are you supposed to translate all that into a
close electoral college map? It becomes very difficult going out
with a whimper, not a bang, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
How do I put all that into perspective for you?
Just like that? All right?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
So the new jobs report twelve thousand new jobs, not
what they were expecting. Thirty nine minutes after the hour,
Aaron Rayal is joining us. An old rule in politics
is follow the money. This election, we're seeing an unprecedented
spending spree by billionaires.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Aaron Rayal with that reality. Good morning, Aaron, Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Yes, so we do know that there's always been money
in politics, and billionaires have always spent to have their
political candidate pick up the phone when they call. But
this year it's like no other. You have one hundred
and fifty billionaire families. They've dropped almost two billion in
support of not just presidential candidates, but also the congressional candidates.
This cycle, it's seven hundred million more than last cycle.
So this continues to grow. You have Gates, you have Soros,
(17:01):
you have Bloomberg, all giving to Harris, but none of
them can outspend Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
He is giving to.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Obviously Trump A So far, he's dropped about one hundred
and eighteen million for the super pac that has pretty
much taken Trump's ground game to the Swing States, his
million dollars a day giveaway to register a voter in
a swing state. It's no segret that Trump has a
massive interest in the federal government through both like contracts
and regulatory probes of his companies. And he's also eyeing
(17:29):
a role in that proposed efficiency Commission that he would run.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
So this is nothing new.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I think what is new is the amounts and the
influence that these these billionaires now yield.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
You can trace the amount influence. Well, that's a whole
other conversation. I always say, behind every headline is a
story behind every story. There's so much to talk about,
So how much you know how this money is used
and how effectively it's used matters. So it used to
be not so much the commercials, but the ground game,
and the ground game that not only influenced whatever they
(18:02):
perceived is the most important election, but a lot of
Senate races and house races under them. The mail in
voting they were met on the playing field. Early in
person voting, they were met on the playing field. So
that's an advantage that they've lost. Now who's effectively doing
the ground game between who's voted early and who's going
to still vote on election day, Well, time will tell.
We don't have that answer yet. And then it's kind
(18:24):
of like does it have the influence it used to
in terms of advertising, which I don't think it does.
And I think probably one of the great lessons from
this one is that instead of it being mail in
voting like it was in twenty twenty after weaponizing COVID,
this one will be about early in person voting. And
then I also think it's going to be about the
amount of money that was spent on television where people
aren't watching anymore versus money. They didn't even have to
(18:47):
be spent to go on Joe Rogan, Megan Kelly or
Tucker Carlson or other places where the millions of people were.
And there's no getting around what you've already stated. The
great wildcard is Elon Musk because they don't have Twitter
to you know, oppose any opposing thought. They don't have
the influence and credibility with the mainstream media, so they
(19:07):
can't control narratives. They can't control opposing thought. And at
least for Trump in advance, they did a much better
job addressing America that's left cable television, left mainstream media,
and gone to social media. If it goes Downald Trump's way,
I think that's how we'll do the post mortem. And
(19:27):
and as that goes, the relevance of all these billions goes.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Yeah, listen, I think you have a huge point. You
want to know that where the ears are they're listening
to ads for Athletic Greens on Rogan's podcast or any
of the other ones, Like it's I think the ad dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
By the way, you did that story on what day
Aaron was that Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
We did that story?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
What it is yeah, whatever, I've had that kind of
week two but whatever, it was Tuesday or Wednesday. And
now I'm hearing those ads everywhere back they're playing during
my show.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
So oh yeah, it's really fun.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
So I don't care too much for money because money
can't buy an election anymore, not until you realize the
paradigm and the audience has shifted, and I don't know
that they have.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
It can't buy you an election, but it can buy
you can buy you a seat at the table, which
I think is interesting, and that that is, you know,
money is power, There's no question about it. And also
is freedom and many circumstances freedom to do.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It gives you options.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
But again, it is in everything, and it can't get
you everything. And we'll we'll find out how this plays out. Listen,
if you want influence in a campaign and you want
you on the ear of the leader, give him or
her some money. You're going to get it. But will most.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Of those players, Aaron, they kind of give to both
sides and had their bets. After all, Donald Trump was
great at that for years. So yeah, but they do
have an advantage. I mean, I think it's billions fighting millions.
But if the billions is spent where it can't be won.
It's just wasted money.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
It's so true.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
And listen, if you look at like a means tested
for the generations, where you have the individual donations that
fall under the scrutiny of various I'm blanking on the
term right now. I'm sorry, election, election interference in all
those things.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
So you can look at it.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
For the individual who writes a thousand dollars check relative
to their income, it's it's profound compared to Elon Musk's
two hundred million in ads and silly giveaways. That means
nothing to him. Nothing, It like moves in, you know,
on fundamentally no way in his life. So like it
actually speaks so much more when you have the individual
donations given how profound that is in terms of like
(21:35):
if you means tested for what that? What that, how
that affects their life, and how much how they feel for.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
An induvidre are elections that are more susceptible than others.
In this case, I don't think it's where the billions
of dollars were. It was where the minds of the
American people were, and how short they were at paying
their bills. Every month that one side seemed to get
the other side seemed to try to gaslight and it
probably isn't going to work. But time will tell. Long week,
go rest, make some memories. We'll talk again on Monday.
(22:04):
Like all right, I could do top five stories to day,
but I really want to get this in. You know,
we're talking about where to be, you know, I mean,
I don't know what Kamala thinks she achieved by driving
me crazy with ads all through the world series. That's
really not you know where people are When you can
reach forty two million with Joe Rogan, it really kind
(22:25):
of takes five months of all that you scripted and
plotted and through bias, executed on ABCNBCCBS, which is what
eighty five percent negative on Donald Trump, seventy eight percent
positive on Kamala Harris. That's the kind of stuff that
used to work, but it doesn't anymore because the mainstream
(22:45):
media has no audience and it has no credibility, and
everybody has moved. They're not watching Fox to figure out
how to vote. They're listening to and watching podcasts. A
former Fox hosts that aren't even on television anymore, like
Megan Kelly, I say, Megan Kelly would I would think
(23:05):
things are going a little bit better than her for
her right now, than Tucker Carlson, although Tucker is still
very influential, but those two, they're not even on Fox anymore,
and they're reaching far more people, and nobody reaches more
than Joe Rogan. I wanted to play this clip because
we were all kind of anticipating as good as Donald
Trump did with Joe Rogan, and what a big mistake
it is for Conald Harris not to do it. We
anticipated Jade Vance to be even better. I think a
(23:27):
lot of people will arrive at the conclusion he was better.
But I love this story and compare it to Kamala
going everywhere telling you how she was making pancakes and
bacon and they said, ant can I have more bacon?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And then I said, Joe, are you sure? Compare that
to this story?
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Well, actually, what happened is I get a text message
from a staff member on his team that says, you
just missed a very important phone call. And I don't know,
you know, because there's so much inbound traffic that I
think it just went straight to voicemail. So I call
it back and I'm like, hey, sir, what's going on?
JD you just missed a very important phone call. I'm
gonna have to pick somebody else.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Just a lot of great moments. I would play you
more moments, but I sit with my palm sweating every
time I play these moments because I can tell you
that there are a lot of words that we would
have to beep and this hasn't been pre beeped, so
I'm afraid to let roll. I think there was an
S word coming up when he tells a story about
his son, Donald Trump ort his son of the background
and put.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Him on the phone.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
It was just but I mean, it's just it's far
more I guess what I'm getting at first and foremost quantity.
Forty two million people have watched this, and it's Joe Rogan,
where relevant people are now watching a long, uninterrupted conversation
versus a pre produced network hit piece. It's just it's
(24:49):
it's not apples and oranges. And when we all do
the post and wordem after this election, and we're all
pointing fingers thinking it was this, or it was that
it could be as obvious this right in front of
your face. One was spending their millions with a narrative
and an illusion of a candidate the others in real time,
(25:13):
we're at McDonald's, we're climbing into garbage trucks, or where
the tens of millions of people are watching. And usually
it's the Democrats that are ahead of the Republicans. This time,
the Republicans seem to learn every lesson from twenty twenty,
and instead of griping about mail in voting, they competed.
(25:34):
Instead of griping about early in person voting, they competed.
Instead of griping about indoctrination and common education and higher education,
they competed. Instead of conceding voting blocks like blacks and Hispanics,
they competed. People always want to, you know, do an
electoral college map and say, well, this is happen in
(25:57):
twenty sixteen, This happened in twenty twenty, This happened in
twenty Nothing's happening like it's happening right now.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Nothing about twenty sixteen is a reality today, COVID masks,
nothing about twenty twenty is relevant today.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
This is Andy Hickson, formerly of Nashville, now living in Detroit, Michigan,
thanks to iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
My morning show is your morning show.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Our senior national correspondent, Royal Diana is joining us only
days away from the election, and even the pollsters think
that the numbers that we're seeing could be wrong. I
don't know whether to start with those numbers that could
be wrong, or probably the job's number that seems way
off what they were hoping for. Let's start with jobs.
It just came out twelve thousand, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (26:48):
Twelve thousand lower than, of course you'd like the economy
to post. But two of the big reasons for this
the Boeing strike, which is ongoing, and of course that's
one of the large America's largest exporters, and that really
does filter down through the other segments of the economy
because of the ongoing strike there, and the hurricanes that
impacted Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
The hurricanes alone have put.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
A half million people out of work last month, but
the unemployment rate is holding the same. That's in large
part because they don't change the rate based on oh look,
work stoppages and weather related job cuts, so the number
is going to stay at four point one.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
So I think between now and Tuesday, I think this
is all going to fall by the wayside pretty quickly. Yeah,
and what do we do?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
What do you think this number of influences in terms
of the interest rates? They had promised that they would
be coming down, but you'll put this number along with
I guess other things.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
And this does perhaps speed and brings back the idea
of a rate cut happening in November.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Some had speculated that they would.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
Pass after having that half point cut, which would be
a bit more aggressive the last time. So now this
sort of puts that quarter point back on the table.
But now it's going to be a question of how
much the Fed wants to weigh. Well, this is hurricane related,
not really economy related.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Which is a whole other conversation that I didn't even
want to get into because I think the boeing, I
think we can get our arms around. It's about forty
four thousand jobs and no indication that it's going to
be permanent. But that one can explain some of it.
Then you've got to get to the other with the hurricane,
which isn't as easy to get your arms around. I
think it leans towards a quarter point for sure.
Speaker 7 (28:29):
Yeah, and then the hurricanes ultimately lead to more hiring,
you know, because then you need to the carpenters to
come back and the plumbers to come back, so it
actually can be an economic driver as the recovery moves.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
We want to save our final two minutes with roy
O'Neil for this. Okay, So the polls going into this
final weekend, have they accounted for the under sampling of
Donald Trump voters? Are they right? Are they wrong? Should
we just throw out whatever the number is and kind
of look at how it's been trending and can you
even trust the trend talk about where they're concer turns
are other than everywhere?
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (29:02):
Well, and also just don't look at the top line, right,
I mean that's the other problem of social media, especially
on sites like x that you see the top line
Trump up one in Pennsylvania and then you move along.
But you know that poll maybe four and a half
five point margin of error, or you don't know who
was sampled, and that kind of a thing.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
So the devil's in the detail.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
So a lot of this is to say, you know,
don't just like a pole because it has numbers. You
want what you want to see, you know, really deep
into you do a dive into some of those figures.
And there's also a thing called the shy voter theory.
As you mentioned, we've seen this now for the last
couple cycles. Trump supporters are not always truthful about their
(29:41):
voting plans and they don't necessarily want to say what's
going on, and that's been a factor. But look, twenty
twenty's presidential polling was the most inaccurate in forty years. Yes,
even twenty sixteen with Hillary and Trump. That was more
accurate than what happened the last time. By the way,
if you delve deep, more accurate than you think.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
You know.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
We talk about how difficult it is to see breaking trends,
but Hillary it was breaking towards Trump. In fact, when
you do this year to date, I think people are
noticing it for the first time, how she was leading
by seven and it was five, and then every day
that passes it gets lower and lower and lower because
he was closing. Now, those trends, trends seem to be
going in Donald Trump's way, same as Republican senators. And
you bring up the shy vote, what about the live vote.
(30:22):
That's another thing we don't know about because we're seeing
these gallop surveys that more and more people are lying
about who they voted to. In fact, in Kamala Harris's case,
she even has a commercial promoting you to lie to
your husband.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Who you didn't vote for him. So by Julia Roberts.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Actually yeah, yeah, so you know time will tell, right,
We're all in this together.
